What is "LivingSilentHunter3 Version 4.0"? It is a so called "super-MOD" like GWX or NYGM, combined of more than 250 MODs which were made for SH3. At the moment, there is only a "german" manual (english version will follow). You can download it here:
LSH3-Handuch-V-40-GE.pdfThe main objectiv of LSH3 is playing the career in SH3. Some single mission are integrated too. So start your career and see what happens. In a very, very short summary, here are some main topics of LSH3:
- you can start your career at August, 1st 1939 (only in the flotilla "Erprobungsstelle Kiel");
- after every patrol, you can transfer to another flotilla (if you want);
- you only can get new sub types at the flotilla "Erprobungsstelle Kiel". If you want to chnage from am type II to a Type VII, you first must transfer to the flotilla "Erprobungsstelle Kiel" and make a trial patrol in the baltic sea. After this trial patrol, you can transfer back to your "old" flotilla;
- the availability of new sub types and important equipment will be announced by radio messages - and within a "UpgradeChart" you can find in the upper left corner of the navigation screen;
- from mid 1943, you will have massiv air raids, even in your base/harbours;
- when you are attacking a convoy in the biscay (or in the range of the "Luftwaffe"), you can order "Luftwaffe"-assistance by retorting contct to that convoy;
- your final mission in April/May 1945 is: escape to Buenos Aires;
- and many more...
LSH3 is totaly based on the 16-km-atmosphere-MOD-V2 by Markimov et.al. That means in Standard LSH3 you can see some 15.000 m, in "ExtendenChallenge" Add-On, vibibility is limited to nearly 10.000 m. A standard 8-km-atmosphere is not supported.
Compatibility. LSH3 is very specific. If you want to add an other mod, please have a look into appendix H (of the manual). There you will find a list of files which should not be modified/changed by other mods - otherwise you will loose functionality or you will get CTD (crash-to-desktop).
But fortunately, we can offer some mods which are made/adapted specially for LSH3. This list will be in the next post.
Greetings
